Will bishop check illegals' records?

When you became the leader of the Bridgeport Diocese, you had all the volunteers that worked for the church take a child safety course and have a background check.

This told us we could not be trusted. As far as I'm concerned, this was a slap in the face of all the volunteers. I, for one, and others, who worked for over 25 years without any problem or a blemish on our record, felt betrayed.

Granted, there was a problem with some of the clergy and that should have been addressed a long time ago. As far as I know, there were no problems with the volunteers.

Due to the fact that you did not know us, we had to abide by your rules and go for a background check or we would be unable to volunteer or work on church property.

Now you want us to donate a substantial amount of cash so you can help the illegal immigrants.

Do you realize that they are criminals by crossing the border illegally? Some of them are killers and are here to save their neck from their own country and, of course, they bring in diseases and God knows what else.

Does this sound fair to you? Have they all had a background check? What's good for the goose is good for the gander.
